Smelling politics the Trinamool Congress on Thursday swung into action after a man apprehending extradition in the wake of the implementation of Citizenship Amendment Act committed suicide.

TMC general secretary Abhishek Banerjee swiftly sent a five-member team comprising senior party leaders including minister Shashi Panja, Kunal Ghosh and others “to remain by the side of the aggrieved family”--- and apparently to take control of the situation --- while CPI(M) central committee member Sujan Chakrabarty said his party would “immediately take up the issue”.

Debashis Sengupta a resident of Netaji Nagar committed suicide at his maternal uncle's place at Subhas Gram off Sonarpur in southern suburbs of in Kolkata, local TMC councilor Arup Chakrabarty said adding the man was disturbed for the past some days wondering whether he would be thrown out of the country or whether he would be sent to jail like it was in Assam.

The man's aunt said, "he lives with my eighty-year-old father and is the sole bread-winner of the family … he was quite disturbed because his Aadhar and voters cards were not in order and other documents too were not in place as our father being an old and less educated man had misplaced some of them."

Sengupta had been glued to newspaper or TV news saying for the past few days that being someone who has no property and no proper document how he would prove his citizenship, police said quoting the family that "the victim's father had migrated to India 60-7- years ago" and Debashis was born in India. When asked, his maternal aunt said he had no birth certificate as in those days there were none issued.

"I have asked my party to remain by the side of the family in grief … this is the beginning and today's sad incident shows what negative impact the CAA is capable of … this is not only unconstitutional but also inhuman and should be protested tooth and nail," Banerjee said adding his party would never let CAA or NRC happen in Bengal.
